Starkings & Watson Reviews 

Starkings and Watson have been absolutely fabulous for me. Daniel was incredible in getting the best deal agreed for me. And Rosie was amazing at getting it over the line. She was relentless with both sets of solicitors for my sale and purchase and I felt relieved knowing she was there to keep it moving forward. I would highly recommend them for providing an excellent service at a time that can be extremely stressful.

We cannot praise the staff of Starkings and Watson enough, and inparticular Caroline Lark, who went above and beyond to help with the purchase of our property, even working for us on her day off. Thank you so much!

S&W have restored our faith in estate agents after a previous tricky experience! Caroline at the Poringland office has been amazing. She has kept us well informed throughout and has been on hand to answer any questions. As first time buyers, Caroline has helped to keep us calm. Thank you very much!

This is the second time we have used Starkings & Watson and would highly recommend them.
From the beginning of our sale they have been friendly and efficient. Excellent photos and video. Izzy was always very helpful when we had cause to contact the office.
During the final stages when nearing exchange Janet was completely on the case, chasing everyone in the chain and keeping us informed.

Liz Hammond and her Team at Starkings and Watson (Bungay Office) worked efficiently on my behalf selling my home which was somewhat more complicated than average sale. Nothing fazed her or her staff all conducted in friendly and polite manner. Highly recommend Starkings and Watson.
Would use Starkings and Watson again. Well done team.

I cannot recommend Rosie at Starkings & Watson highly enough.
She has supported me through every step of an incredibly challenging journey, showing unwavering empathy, kindness, and patience — at times feeling more like a much‑needed therapist than an estate agent.

Her communication has been consistently clear, and her knowledge of the process is truly second to none. There is genuinely no one else I would have wanted by my side during this experience.

Rosie has worked tirelessly to ensure my sale went through, and I am deeply grateful for her dedication and hard work.
Thank you, Rosie, and thank you to the entire team at Starkings & Watson.

Both Steve and Jake have provided exceptional service throughout my experience in buying a house through Starkings & Watsons Diss office.

As a first time buyer they kept me up to date, provided support and sought answers promptly for all questions I had.

My offer has been successful so hopefully a positive outcome to come.

Excellent service all round from Starking and Watson. Sam was exceptional and never let us down all the way through.

Thank you

We have previously used several agents to try and sell our property but the only one that delivered were the team at the Diss branch of S & W, our house was put on the market the first of January and sold within three days S & W kept in touch with us constantly , nothing was too much trouble , the sale went through smoothly and quick . What a team they were , thank you .

My experience relates to Rosie, who managed my sale through Minors & Brady when she was working with them. She saw the process through with consummate professionalism, at a point when it looked rather as if the sale might fall through, and things between the vendor and buyer had reached a stage of frustration and negativity. Rosie has a very rare combination of great warmth and humanity coupled with a very clear focus on what actually matters and how to achieve a good outcome. It was her genuine understanding and sympathy towards both sides, informed by her intelligent clarity clarity on how to dig everyone out of where they were and get us all back on track that achieved a very good sale and a happy outcome for everyone. Rosie made herself available throughout the process, never flustered, always a delight to speak to, so sensible, and incredibly hardworking. She never stopped giving her focus and energy. Without her this sale would not have happened. Thank you Rosie!
Trustpilot will not allow me to use the actual date of my experience which was three years ago but it is still relevant - this was in 2023.

Starkings and Watson have been very professional and understanding helping me sell my property in a difficult time. All staff have been very helpful and compassionate and I would recommend there services to all.

Excellent service from S&W from start to finish. Great property particulars, dedicated staff and a very competitive rate. Kerri from the Wymondham office kept the viewings coming despite a challenging market and always provided prompt and detailed feedback that helped us present the property to the best advantage. Great service all round and much better than other agents we had experienced. Thank you S&W!

i dealt with the Diss Office and this was a great company to work with from start to finish , Jake and Steve always kept in contact at every stage and there where always updates from other staff members, which takes away the stress and worry of selling your house , all the staff where always professional and polite. I would definitely recommend them. thank you

Have recently sold and bought with Starkings &Watson. We had a first rate service from start to finish. Chris suggested a valuation that we were happy with. Contract was explained and was very competitive. Professional photos and video was taken, the board put up and after several viewings we were sold within 2 weeks. Thanks to Max and Daniel for their help with the sale part.
We were specific with the type of property and area we wanted to move to. We were then introduced to the wonderful Sam at the Brundall office. She worked tirelessly to find and secure us our dream property contacting us every few days to keep us informed.
Unfortunately our sale then fell through when our buyer lost their sale, we were distraught but the sales team got back on the case and we were sold again within 2 weeks.
It has been a really stressful few months with the ups and downs that come with moving and we thank the lovely Janet Riches along with Tracey and James in the after sales team for getting us over the line. We would strongly recommend Starkings & Watson to anyone.

Rosie Turley was, quite simply, exceptional.

We had a fairly long and at times rather wobbly chain, with the usual hiccups and a few extra for good measure, largely due to solicitor issues further down the line. At points, it genuinely felt like the whole thing might grind to a halt. Enter Rosie.

She was on it like a bloodhound, and I mean that in the best possible way. Constantly, calmly, and persistently chasing every link in the chain, digging into issues, and unpicking problems that most of us did not even know existed. What really stood out was how she did all of this with professionalism and kindness, never pushy, always measured, but incredibly effective.

Rosie made us feel like we were her only clients. She was approachable, responsive, and always at the end of an email or text, even later in the evening when most people would have switched off. That level of commitment does not go unnoticed.

Beyond her efficiency, she brings a genuine emotional intelligence to her work. She understands that moving house is not just a transaction, it is stressful, personal, and at times overwhelming. Rosie clearly cares about her clients and takes real pride in seeing things through to a successful conclusion.

I genuinely do not think our sale would have completed when it did, if at all, without her.

Excellent service and comms throughout leading to successful completion of sale exactly 3 months from the first meeting

It took some time, but I always felt that the team were working for us. Steve was out main contact and always cheerful and supportive. Would recommend using this company.

I had such a good experience with Starkins team after trying to sell with another agent. I immediately felt the difference in a positive way. They are very kind but honest and determined to get the best deal they can for you. They took time to understand my separation and how emotionally challenging it is to have to sell your home when you are in a break up. They felt very safe and Ana James and Sam took very good care of me. I think starkins are fair , empathetic but professional and reliable. When selling your house you really need to be able to trust the agent and know they properly understand you and have time for you. I also liked that I got to speak to Sam weekly with updates and could call if I didn’t understand something . They are easy to talk to and easy to be around especially when taking care of viewings. They made sure my house sold at a price we needed and I would highly recommend them.

During the process of selling and buying a property I have found that this estate agent have proved to be the best in the area. They are honest and approachable and I’d recommend them to anyone. Laura in particular from the loddon branch has been so friendly and professional. They seem to work closely with all the branches and are so helpful.

I purchased my property via Starkings & Watson and received an incredibly professional service throughout. The three staff members involved in the process were Liz Hammond, Will Crawford and Ruby Harris, all of whom demonstrated efficiency, clarity and dedication to my case. Regular updates were provided regarding the conveyancing pathway and assistance was always readily available. I am genuinely grateful to the team at Starkings & Watson and would not hesitate to recommend them for all Estate Agency needs.
